Ceasefire collapses: Hezbollah fires rockets at IDF; Israel retaliates
Hezbollah launched over 50 projectiles at IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon overnight between Friday and Saturday, the military announced.
The IDF responded to the attacks with strikes on several Hezbollah terrorists and terror infrastructure sites in southern Lebanon, the military added, including rocket launch positions, weapons storage facilities, and command centers.
The military noted that it remains committed to the ceasefire, emphasizing that it will act to “remove any threat posed to the State of Israel and IDF soldiers.”
Israel’s Arabic-language military spokesperson Col. Ella Waweya said calm could be achieved if Hezbollah halted all hostile activity and violations of agreements, adding Israel’s presence in a security zone aimed to remove threats and dismantle Hezbollah infrastructure, not harm civilians.
Earlier on Saturday, Hezbollah stated that it had targeted IDF soldiers in southern Lebanon, saying that it would “not hesitate to confront any attempt by Israel to seize land in Lebanon” despite its “commitment to the ceasefire,” according to Reuters.
